iPhone and Android: Surprisingly, AOL's just created a great music player. Not only does PLAY let you listen to your entire music library but it also lets you stream tons of their tracks for free, helping you discover great new tunes.

If you just want to listen to your own music, PLAY is essentially the same thing as the built-in iPod app with a few less features. What PLAY does better is it gives you several ways to discover music from other sources. There are a ton of full CDs you can listen to for free. PLAY also provides lots of individual MP3 tracks to discover, plus you can listen to music from SXSW. On top of all the ready-to-go music, you can stream SHOUTcast Radio for many more options. If you want something new to listen to, you have a ton of options.

What could make it better? On the iPhone actual AirPlay support (which is only accessible by double-tapping the home button in lock screen mode), proper podcast support (they'll show up if they're in playlists, but not on the whole), andvariable scrubbing speeds for more precise scrubbing. Overall, the ability to purchase, download, or at least bookmark good tracks you discover from within the app would be great (sharing is your best alternative at the moment, which isn't great). All of that said, PLAY is a pretty compelling start and may be, some day, some serious competition for the best music player for iPhone and Android.
